The route
The journey moves from valley to open plain to highland rim, so each stage looks and feels different from the last. Every leg is driven in a private vehicle with your own guide, and no property holds you for fewer than two nights.
Day four is driven rather than flown: the transfer east across the Serengeti is itself one of the best game drives of the week.
Day by day
You are met at Kilimanjaro International and driven to a quiet lodge set in a working coffee estate. Your guide joins you for a short briefing over dinner — the route, the light, and what we hope to find.
